   5. Are you teaching to the level of your students?
   6. Are you pacing your lessons well?
   7. Are you flexible?
   8. Are you using varied ideas and not just relying on the course book?
      
      
2. MECHANICS
   
   
   1. Are you still being student centered (consider your own 'teacher talk')
   2. Are the stages of your lesson clear?
   3. Are you dealing with form, meaning and pronunciation?
   4. Are you dealing with pronunciation problems?

YOUR PLAN
